I wanted to just show a quick WIP of the Dad's dream level also known as the Forest level. Please ignore the bugs. I am still working on some stuff and other stuff broke. SO fun. lol

I am having trouble getting enemies to work properly and my chests broke and stuff keeps happening. So I decided to take a break and get something else done. In the forest level I noticed it wasn't difficult and kinda boring. To be fair it is the first level after the tutorial so it is suppose to just introduce stuff and not be challenging. But like in Spyro the Dragon it is more story based than platforming based. So I thought why don't I have levels that are more platforming based to even it out. I came up with the idea of jumping into dreams of bugs, plants, and really anything living. Maybe I will do inanimate objects for sh*ts and giggles too. With these levels I will just focus on platforming and a small theme. They are not needed to progress through the game so if you aren't 100%ing the game then you can just skip them if you wish. In this level, you jumped into the dream of a spider and the theme is you are in a cave of construction worker spiders. Because spiders construct webs. Haha. Get it? This level is meant to be more in the beginning of the level so it isn't super hard but still more challenging than the forest level. It introduces some platforming mechanics and tests you if you want to get a collectible that will give you access to even harder levels with even less theme to them. No collectibles or anything in them. Just levels that if you want to torture yourself then have at it. lol I am not sure if I will fully commit to these levels. I am fully committing to making this game. Aka no job and living off savings. So if I need to release the game to make ends meat then I might have this become DLC or just not do it all together. But if I am far from finished and I have to get back into the workforce then why not make all these ideas I am deleting.

My buddy showed me Suno.com which is an AI song generator. So I spent my day messing around with it. And here is what I came up with. =) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There's a little squirrel He's on the move Chasing his dreams Gotta groove Gotta groove He's got a mission Can't settle for less Gotta find his nuts Gotta pass the test Running through the trees He's got no time to rest He's searching high and low Giving it his best His little paws scurrying Digging in the earth He won't let anything stop his rebirth He's got those nuts on his mind Can't let them go They're his treasure His fortune Don't you know? He's a rodent with a hunger Can't be tamed In this nutty world He's staking his claim ----------------- Chillin' in my tree Feelin' fine When along comes Badger Nothin' but trouble in his mind He's lookin' for nuts Gotta hide 'em away But this squirrel ain't lettin' him ruin my day Gotta be quick Gotta be sly Jumpin' from branch to branch Reachin' for the sky I'm collectin' my stash Squirrel's on a mission Ain't no way that badger's gettin' my nutrition Badger's sniffin' around Thinkin' he's so stealthy But I'm a squirrel Ain't no one outwitin' me I'm stashin' my nuts in every secret place Gonna leave that badger with an empty chase ----------------- Running through the woods Oh what a sight Badger on my tail It's giving me a fright Looking for my nuts He's craving a snack But why does this badger want a nut attack? He's got sharp claws and a fierce little growl Everywhere I turn He's right on my prowl Maybe he's hangry or just wants some zest But what could be so special 'bout my nuts I must confess Badger trouble What's the deal? Why he wants my nuts It's hard to reveal Badger trouble A nutty pursuit I gotta find a way out Before he gets his loot ----------------- Badger's got me Hands on my nuts Can't shake him off He's all up in my guts Oh Lord What am I supposed to do? This horrible pursuer He's got me feeling blue He's sneaky and sly Oh what a beast Chasing after me He won't release I try to run But he's always near This badger's got me living in fear Oh Badger Blues What a sorry state Can't escape this relentless fate Badger got me He's taken control I'm just a little squirrel with a badger holding my soul ----------------- Oh Badger Blues What a sorry state Can't escape this relentless fate Badger got me He's taken control I'm just a little squirrel with a badger holding my soul Is there any hope left? Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh What is a poor squirrel to do? Is there anyone that can come Rescue him from this pursuit O, Look! It's Bear! ----------------- Bear is on the scene Badger not feeling so tough But Bear has come Ready to mess him up No It ain't a pretty sight It's a brutal showdown Bear gonna take him down And leave him lying on the ground Badger's feeling defiant Thinking he's the king But Bear's in control Gonna bring ... the pain Survival ain't an option when the bear's in town Badger better run away 'cause the bear's gonna take him down Mess badger up Show him who's boss No mercy No surrender Bear gonna run this game Make badger pay the price When Bear's in the ring It's gonna be one hell of a fight Mess Badger Up! Mess Badger Up!

New Skin. New Traps. I am getting closer to this level getting done.

I have changed direction in my prototype and I want to mark this as the starting point of trying to build this game full time. 0:00 - New For Game 11:49 - New In My Life

I show you a few more things in this but mainly I made this video to ask ... is this fun? Would you play this game?

In this video I show you the progress I have made on level 1 and explain more about what this game is all about. You will get a good idea of the art style I am going for as well as learn about the collectables I will have in the game.

This is a part 2 of the previous video. I am showing off the rest of the block out for level 1

This is the first look at my 3D platformer game Bump In The Night. The name might change once I am closer to releasing just due to it being such a common phrase. I am not sure if I am allowed to use it. But regardless this is the start. This showcases the player character, Maloop. And the ending is giving an idea of what the game will be. The hub world is a house and you will be entering people's dreams to start the levels. So you are a tiny creature.

In this video I explain the game, what it is about, what I am aiming for and all that. And I blocked out how I want level 1 to look.
